My situation is a 15yr old house governed by Canadian electrical code, which is for the most part consistent with the US NEC. The reason the builder used 14/3 for those branch circuits was purely economics based. In Canadian electrical code, a clothes washer circuit is only required to be 15 amp. Should it be on its own? - yes! Should it be 12/2 instead? - yes! But, the reality is this house was built in a large development project, and they didn’t do things to meet ideals, they based every decision on the bottom line. One fine day, I will get around to running a dedicated 12/2 for that clothes washer. As an intermediate stage, I removed the lighting circuit from the other leg of that 14/3 and put it on a dedicated 14/2, which has improved the lifespan of lightbulbs.
AC Power Question
I am repositioning my system and need to install ac outlets. I assume its a good idea to have a dedicated circuit for my system below ( stereo only). Should i have 2 dedicated circuits? 15 or 20 amps? I may also have a power conditioner in the loop as well. Thanks in advance for any thoughts and advice on do's and don'ts....
